Hi Janette – thanks for stopping by. So are you saying your daughter is already potty training and she doesn’t even walk yet?? That’s a pretty cool feat! I’m not sure I could run to the potty fast enough to have made that happen before either of my kids were walking.

One of my friends trained her daughter outside with no pants on.

Preschool pretty much did my son. My daughter has been working on it herself. It’s our one easy thing and I’m happy for it. I just need to get her to walk.

Hang in there she’ll get there

I also think it’s because the mom’s did not want to spend any additional time handwashing those disposable diapers. Oooo. Yucky!

We had fun with you guys this weekend!

Back in the day, when our moms used nothing but cloth diapers, kids potty trained early. I think this was because the toddlers became aware of their wetness/dirtiness much sooner than our little ones who run around in their ultra-absorbent disposables.

My son wasn’t attending day care when he was 2 and 8 months, so I didn’t have the benefit of a teacher who had trained hundreds of kids. As a stay-at-home mom, I simply took his disposable diapers off of him and put underwear on. Needless to say, I spent the next three or four days cleaning up accidents. But then he figured it out. I, too, used pull-ups on my son at night for a while — probably for another four or five months.

When you’re going through the potty training, it SEEMS to take forever, but it will be over with before you know it. You just have to hang in there!
